Ambient Weather on eisy

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm trying to use my local weather station with my new eisy.  I managed to install a node server and it shows on network listing, but it only says the name of the station and station on-line...true.  How do I utilize this?  Something like using the outside temperature to trigger an event?  The only thing in the node frame is query.  I've read docs, readmes, googled and found the ployglot v3 page on AW.  Logged in to that and it lists a lot of items, but it doesn't tell me how to integrate this to eisy.  If I go to add node in AW node server, I get a frame wit name, node address and primary node address.  I'm not sure what goes into these blocks.  I tried a temp variable in node address but just get bad address.  Any simple help would be greatly appreciated.  thanks

Have you restarted the admin console since installing the node server?  

The admin console only reads the node configuration information when it starts so must be restarted after every node server install to see the proper configuration.

@dblee1950 did you get your api key from Ambient and enter that into the configuration in PG3?? That is the only way it will look at your weather station. Once you get connected all your sensors will show up in AC....

yes to all of the above.  It now shows the data in various subfolders.  I just need to figure out how to incorporate this in a program.  thanks

@dblee1950  Here is one example, I use temperature to set the speed of a ceiling fan in my bedroom at night.

 

Bedroom Fan Off 65° AC On Ambient - [ID 009D][Parent 0065]

If
        From     9:00:00PM
        To       9:00:00AM (next day)
    And 'AC Temps / Liv Rm AC Supply Tempature' Temperature < 70.0°F
    And 'Ambient Weather / main' Temperature >= 67.0°F
 
Then
        Set 'Bedroom / Bed Room Fan Switch' Off
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I also use rain accumulation to set irrigation on or off.

Lawn Sprinkler On AM - [ID 00D5][Parent 0075]

If
        On Sat, Wed
        From     4:30:00AM
        To       7:30:00AM (same day)
    And 'Ambient Weather / main' Rain (weekly) <= 0.750 Inches
 
Then
        Set 'Outside / Lawn Sprinkler' On
 
Else
        Set 'Outside / Lawn Sprinkler' Fast Off
